  • Create!form Adds New Archive and Retrieval Capabilities

    July 6, 2004 Dan Burger

    When it comes to streamlining the formatting and delivery of business documents, much progress has been made in recent years in the document management field. One of the leading companies in this arena, Create!form, has a product suite that covers a range of business applications, including forms, e-mail, fax, and document distribution. Last week the iSeries-oriented company added integrated archive and retrieval capabilities to its product suite by introducing Create!archive 3.0.

    With this upgrade from Create!archive 2.7, Create!form officials believe they have once again increased the cost-efficiency aspect of the suite and added an important self-service feature for businesses

  • PeopleSoft Makes Good on Linux Promise, Plans for Safari

    July 6, 2004 Alex Woodie

    This spring PeopleSoft made a commitment to support its EnterpriseOne ERP suite running on Linux by the end of the second quarter. On the last day of the quarter, last Wednesday, PeopleSoft followed through, when it announced the general availability of PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne Tools 8.93. In addition to supporting the popular open-source operating system, the EnterpriseOne suite now supports BEA Systems‘ WebLogic application server software, and will support Apple‘s Safari Web browser in the fourth quarter.

    The EnterpriseOne ERP suite, which was called OneWorld before PeopleSoft’s acquisition of J.D. Edwards one year ago, has always been more open

  • Great Plains Communications Finds Comfort in iTera

    June 29, 2004 Alex Woodie

    For two years, Great Plains Communications had trouble managing its OS/400 high availability environment. Problems such as chronic out-of-synch conditions, difficulty replicating IFS and spool files, and inaccurate system monitor displays prevented the small Nebraska telecommunications company from practicing roll-swaps and thereby gaining confidence in its high availability setup. When the company finally replaced the software with startup iTera‘s Echo2 product, it found a few rough edges, but overall things improved dramatically.

    Great Plains Communications is based in the eastern Nebraska city of Blair, on the banks of the Missouri River. The third-generation family owned company has grown over

  • Linoma Boosts Security Automation with OS/400 Data Transfer Tool

    June 29, 2004 Alex Woodie

    The Internet is a phenomenal medium, but as we all know, it is also inherently insecure. If you send sensitive information over the public electronic byways, and you don’t somehow encrypt it, you’re asking for trouble. Linoma Software addresses this need with Transfer Anywhere, a data transformation utility that provides a Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption implementation on OS/400 and Windows operating systems. This month Linoma shipped a new release that has new security automation capabilities.

    Transfer Anywhere is a versatile Java program that can do the job of several point products, including distributing, retrieving, converting, compressing, encrypting, and signing

  • IBM Updates Content Manager, Pledges Express Edition

    June 29, 2004 Alex Woodie

    Two of the many product news bits hidden away in IBM‘s eServer i5 announcement on May 4 were the upcoming releases of DB2 Content Manager for iSeries and DB2 Content Manager OnDemand for iSeries. Those releases, which shipped June 11, expand the ways in which users can interact with unstructured data, such as e-mails and scanned documents. IBM is also cooking up new “express” editions of the DB2 Content Manager that will run on OS/400 and Linux.

    DB2 Content Manager is IBM’s “best of breed” document imaging and workflow solution. No matter what platform it’s deployed on, the role

  • Vendors Offer Support for New UCCnet Services 2.3 Spec

    June 22, 2004 Alex Woodie

    Six months after Wal-Mart’s first UCCnet deadline, product data synchronization projects continue among the nation’s midmarket manufactures and distributors, particularly those that sell to The Home Depot and other hard-lines retailers with UCCnet mandates. Last month the Uniform Code Council announced the new UCCnet Synchronization Suite Version 2.3 specification, which includes the capability to publish pricing information, in addition to extensions for the hard-lines supply chain.

    Retailers in the hard-lines industry are following in the footsteps of retail giant Wal-Mart in requiring their suppliers to adopt UCCnet data synchronization in order to cut losses related to using bad product data.

  • Message Monitoring Software from CCSS Gets Tighter Security

    June 22, 2004 Dan Burger

    The emphasis on security resounds throughout the industry these days. With tough auditing compliance a mandate for many organizations (and a priority for some, when mandates are not forcing the issue), it’s not uncommon for IT departments to be tightening down the security screws. So it’s not surprising that iSeries systems management software developer CCSS focused on security threats when adding features to QMessage Monitor Version 6. What is surprising are the 426 new possibilities for auditing.

    Rest assured, however, this report will not cover all 426.

    What you do need to know about the latest QMessage Monitor is that
